*X-Men 97* vs *Classic X-Men* theme difference *Cons* of new Trailer 1. 0:20 - In the lightning effect, Storm has the shadow of cloud on her, while the new trailer doesn't add that. Which makes it less realistic and less epic. 2. 0:35 - Much better pose for Beast in old theme. 3. 0:56 - In the running shot, angle/perspective is better in old one. *Pros* 1. 0:16 - Better drawn Wolverine 2. 0:18 - Better Rouge with color correction 3. 0:25 - Better jump , leg animation is dynamic 4. 0:31 - Better Gene design (inspired from X-Men evolution) 5. 0:35 - Beast jump is better. (impact shown on object) 6. 0:37 - Improved animation

Jean had her full hair untied in the actual X-men #1 comics. It was only in The Animated Series that she had it in a ponytail for easier animation. Jean's outfit design is actually more faithful in X-men 97 to the Jim Lee comics.

@@VictorGonzalez-xs9octhe word “riff” has many meanings, including “variation”. When used in the phrase “riff on”, it means to take a certain idea and build upon it in a way that is original or distinct but pays homage to the previous concept. In other words, it means exactly what you said. This new opening is a reimagined version of the original- similar enough that the inspiration is obvious but with added elements to make it fresh. So it is fair to say that it is a “riff on”, or a variation of the old opening. I think you mistook the phrase for “rip off”, which means to steal. To make matters worse, you can say “riff off’ to mean the same thing as “it’s a riff on”. English can be confusing.

Better in the old version: - "X-MEN" block lettering (coloring, shading, heavier black outline) - Exploding "X" accompanied by explosion sound effect. - Hair (Rogue, Storm). - Cyclops _standing_ in his title intro. - Skin tone (Rogue, Magneto extremely pale in new). - Storm's shorter cape & more lightening in her title intro.
